What is Growing Disciples?

Growing Disciples is a pastoral planning process for the Catholic Diocese of Peoria to renew discipleship and enhance relationships with Jesus Christ in every corner of our region. The pastoral planning process will examine the current structure of parishes and schools in the diocese to evaluate how they can best meet the needs of the faithful and address challenges facing the Church today.

Specifically, Growing Disciples has three primary goals:

  • Enabling the faithful to go make disciples within a mission-driven, sustainable structure of parishes and schools.

  • Enhancing the vibrancy of our parishes, schools and ministries.

  • Increasing our support of the happiness, health and holiness of our priests.

Growing Disciples will also advance Bishop Tylka’s five foundations for the diocese and

  • Inspire discipleship in each baptized follower of Jesus

  • Empower evangelization so as to share the saving name of Jesus

  • Deepen our awareness of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist

  • Strengthen vocations

  • Continue the legacy of Archbishop Fulton Sheen
